This seems to be on everyone’s lips – 2012, the end of the world! People have been talking about it and speculating about it ever since someone mentioned that the ancient Mayan calendar ends then.
Poppycock.
I have been asked to serve on a panel of psychics to discuss the “fate of the world” with regard to 2012, and I thought this might be a good time to talk about it here. (BTW, if you would like to hear that panel for free, it’s in Denver, at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, Sunday, October 2, 2011, 1:00 to 3:30.)
You know that I am a philosopher more than a mathematician, so I’m not going to talk about the actual calendar (although I have studied it a bit, and it’s complex and not really scary), but I do want to talk about what’s going on with the world in general.
We have been entering a new age for quite a while. Remember back in the ’80s when we talked about “New Age”? Well, that’s because it is just that, a new age. A new way of thinking and talking and feeling. A new age of enlightenment and the re-emergence of the Divine Feminine. A time of greater prosperity for all people.
2012 represents the true turning point, but energy and enlightenment have been speeding up for years, maybe decades. You know all those “peace, love and understanding” people in the ’60s? They were getting the ball rolling. Remember “women’s lib”? More people getting things to start the change.
And more recently, the stock market crash of 2008. It affected the entire world economy. And why? Because there IS now a world economy. No country stands alone any longer. Even when Greece was crashing, it was only about 17th in world economies, but it had a massive effect on everyone else.
And that crash was part of the re-construction of many of the old ways and methods. Old structures are breaking down so that new ones can replace them–better ones!
And this is what all of these things are about: Welcome to the new age.
There will not be a cataclysmic event; the world will not end. Relax! But get ready for many more things to change and to change quickly. We are coming into a time when prosperity will be much more available to many more people.
Is there a catch? Yes. If you dig in your heels and refuse to change what you’re doing, it will be harder for you. Listen to what’s going on. Listen to your heart, your inner guidance. Notice how you feel when something happens. Does this feel good or bad? If you open your mind, does it feel better?
There is a lot of conflict around us, especially if you listen to the news. Radical factions are hating on everyone. Those are the ones who don’t want to change, even if it’s for the better. Don’t worry about them. They are also the ones who are resisting, so it’s harder for them. Send them a blessing.
And finally, I will say this. There is no gain without a loss. There is no beginning without an ending. So when it seems that something is collapsing, recognize that something is also being built. And ask yourself if the new thing isn’t better than the old thing.
Enjoy the new age! Enjoy 2012! It’s going to be GOOD!
